About Dawn

Dawn Silver is the author of the book and card deck Jewels of the Lotus Tibetan Gemstone Oracle, a recipient of the Coalition of Visionary Retailers Award.

Silver is a licensed Naprapath, receiving her Doctor of Naprapathy from CNCN in 1982. She is also a certified aromatherapist and a Mari-el practioner. Silver has studied with various crystal workers: Michael Smith, Dael Walker, Randall Baer, Carol Glover, Gary Fleck, and others noted experts. She has been classically taught in astrology since 1977 with the late spiritual astrologer Helen Francis Blue.

Silver began her journey teaching and practicing crystal healing in 1985. She was privileged to work with the late spiritual leader, Sun Bear. Founder of the Bear Tribe, Sun Bear taught crystal healing during his Midwest spiritual retreats. Through this amazing experience, Silver evolved her work into The Jewels of the Lotus Crystal Healing Series, which she teaches nationally and internationally.

Her certification program includes classes unlike any other—Vibrational Medicine through RasaVidya Health Astrology developed by the late Kirpal Singh, spiritual head of the Science of Spirituality. Silver’s approach to crystal healing bridges tangible physical sciences with spiritual metaphysical sciences.

Silver was a featured speaker at the Midwest Crystal Conference 2007 in Cincinnati, Ohio and is on the board of CrossRoads Institute. In 2008 she has been invited to teach on the Sea Angels Cruise to Alaska for the fifth time. She has been featured in magazines; appeared on radio, cable and television broadcasts; participated in numerous holistic expos and taught workshops both locally and internationally.

Along with her husband, Michael Wisniewski, Silver founded and operated Healing Earth Resources, a metaphysical bookstore, organic cafe and healing center in Chicago for 19 years. Her most prized crystals are of the human design…her children Ian Michael Wisniewski, a songwriter and musician, and Karina Oshanna, a budding Shakespearean actor.
